HELLO! I am Teddi

I am 45 and have NEVER smoked a brisket chicken fish or pork anything. I have always loved using charcoal but the last 5 or more years I used propane out of shear laziness. I am from Dallas Texas and grew up in Farmers Branch (thats in North Dallas) Currently I reside in the northern section of Denton (almost the river- Red that is) The whole reason for me being on here is to get help with my FIRST SMOKE! Hopefully it does not turn into beef jerky and I will be back. If not, it was nice to visit.

Welcome, Teddi! You've come to the right place to get help with that first smoke. Nothing wrong with using propane if it works for you. I use a charcoal smoker and a propane grill for high heat, but will be smoking today using my propane grill with a fancy new tube smoker. Post any questions you may have and you're sure to get plenty of tips and advice.
